up, up & away

I cannot get over this set of pics... Auntie M snapped her camera during K's shoot at just the perfect time.. Kennedy was so excited to hold her pink and black balloons... Not so excited when she let them go... Who couldn't smile and laugh at her sour face! She didn't want to do anymore photos after letting go of her prized balloons

Special Parisian pics for Mademoiselle Kennedy

K is 10 months old already! I am already planning her big "poodles and Paris" theme birthday bash. To be planning this little beauties 1st birthday party is so bittersweet. She is growing so fast, which means she is not my little tiny baby anymore. Her auntie Michelle made her passport invitations, which gave us a good excuse to plan up a little Parisian themed photo shoot. I am so excited I am finally learning how to use my DSLR camera I have had for a few years now. I couldn't have a better mentor (M) who helps me along the way.. Here are a few snapshots I took of little princess K

A special visit from Ohio

Kennedy had the pleasure of spending almost a week with pappa and mam-ma Swearingen from Ohio. She had a fun filled week of excitement and laughs. She loved being rescued in the early morning hours out of her crib by pappa and mam-ma (Usually there was some type of alarm set off ie: motion monitor, or house alarm). We even took a trip to Oak Glen and Wrightwood for a little photoshoot. K gets to take her first plane ride in March to visit our family in Ohio. She def def stole some hearts this trip.

9 months already

Kennedy had the pleasure of her Auntie Michelle (Mango Mahalo Photography) taking some special 1st Valentine's Day pics. She is 9 months old already. I think back to how fast the time has passed. She is talking, crawling, feeding herself, walking along furniture, and becoming so independent. I love each new mile stone she hits but feel like they are passing by so fast.  She is the most loving, funny, carefree baby.. She also loves to be the center of everyone's attention. I look at her in awe everyday. A mother's love is truly something that can never be described.

Baby Dedication

Today was a very special day for Kennedy. We dedicated her to God. I always find myself staring at Kennedy wondering what she will be like when she gets older, and I know the way we raise her now will be a big part of the person she turns into. I want her to see her parents living a loving and Godly life. I want her to walk a great path in life. We have been so blessed to have her as our daughter and we have comitted to God that we will rasie her in his ways and according to his word. I feel like the luckiest person in the world to have this beautiful, loving, innocent, and smart little girl in my life. My mom, stepdad, brothers and sister in law were all there to be part of her special day, and had a great lunch afterwards!!

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.

6 month cuteness

Its hard to imagine K is 6 months (well now almost 8 months I am a little behind in the blogging world). She has brought so much joy and happiness to our lives. She is such a happy baby who loves to explore, touch everything, and put anything she can get a hold of in her mouth! She has 2 teeth and she is starting to crawl. My friend Michelle took some pics to capture her beauty! I am completely head over heels in love with this little beauty and she has daddy fully wrapped around her tiny finger..

Pumpkin Patch 2010

Kennedy is having her very first Halloween this year!! We decided to take her to the pumpkin patch to pick out her very first pumpkin... Grammie Jennie came with us too!! It was a very special afternoon for K. She loved all the pumpkins and watched in awe at the "big kid" slides and children as they ran by. I know someday she will be on those "big kid" slides but for now I am happy she is my sweet little baby and I am cherishing every minute of her life. mommy even made her a pumpkin patch dress for the occasion!!
